I also use these for blocking. For More info and demos search "blocking knitting" on YouTube. Also, check out the Knitting Paradise Forum...everything you ever wanted to know!

To add to Amanda's answer......These are used to pin down knit or crochet projects when blocking to correct size. As example, if your project is supposed to be 4 inches by 4 inches square, you can dampen the knitting/crochet and pin to an accurate 4 x 4 square and let air dry. When dry, your project should be 'blocked' to size. The pins do not rust so no probs with getting wet. I'm sure there are many other uses outside of blocking fiber designs. ;->

These are not for knitting! They are used in dissection to pin back parts to assist you in the dissection.

It just takes a little practice before you are able to use them easily. Just keep working on it and you will love them as much as I do.

I love mine and should be fine for threads and I used mine for clipping yarn at a woolen mill. Just use them for that said threads and they will stay scrap for that use......

Hey there J. Carter :)I recently bought the same item, and I started off wondering the same thing. Sadly the extentions will likely come partially tangled, if not then they tangle soon after opening. But I've learned that the best thing to do is hang them up. Lol it's weird, I know. But that keeps them safe and sound. And if they do tangle all you have to do is is lightly brush them out with a comb, NOT A BRUSH!! If you brush them they will become extrey puffy and get split ends. Hope this helped somewhat ~ Grace

I wouldn't recommend this for your knitting, especially not for yarn. It has a smooth bottom, but it's got uneven edges on the sides that I think could snag stuff. Plus, I dislike this because it's top heavy and wants to tip over all the time. I put what I thought were heavy tools in the bottom, like hammers, small saws, wrenches, etc, and it still wants to tip over! That's just my take. I think perhaps I'd try something different.

Hello: Pls Check out the actual Authentic Knitting Board website for more information and selections of many boards ( including another 28" board. http://www.knittingboard.com/Knitting_Boards_s/1.htm The following info is from their site. Each board has 84 pins for 84 double stitches. You can use them all or just a few depending on your project. The maximum knitting width of this board is aprox 30"-45" depending on the yarn and spacersbeing used. (I have 4 of their looms that I enjoy using! happy looming! )

I twist them once or twice around the bag and then wrap it around the arrow. I haven't really figured how else to use them.

These are for crochet only, but Amazon has some really good books on getting started with knitting, I would recommend that maybe you look into one of these. Since I do not knit, I would not know what needles to recommend. Good luck..

I suggest that you use the CD that comes.with your serger and follow the instructions carefully. I had that problem at first and found that the CD was quite helpful. Remember to unthread the two needles before you retread the loopers.

Here is a nice resource explaining how to use the strips: http://meny.weebly.com/uploads/4/5/7/5/4575254/tastelab.docx

these needles are desined for use with a flex type pen that is preloaded with insulin. they are not for drawing insulin up out of a vile !!! amazon will most likely exchange them for you!!!

Hello! These will stand up to considerable use. I have Stitchberry single tipped bamboo needles and they are much more fragile than these by Ostart. The latter is a lovely darker "polished" wood, not like the Stitchberry that I have to sand on occasion to keep smooth. Even the US 1 is a sturdy set. I live at the beach and store them in a plastic box inside the little plastic sleeves they were shipped in and mine haven't warped at all. I have been delighted with this set of double pointed needles, I use them very often [I don't have a telly so I craft instead]. I wouldn't be able to knit hats and baby things without them. :-)

Hi, I bought them to try. Since I use Singer and Schmetz needles as well in my Janome, I would think they are standard

Just YouTube a tutorial. It took me about 20 mins not having a clue what I was doing. They work great.

Haven't tied them yet, but I think as long as they are universal you should be ok..I usually always buy universal needles, mine is a Brother.

i wash my best friend socks in the washing machine using cold water. after the wash is done i search for my 'best friends' and hang them up to dry. i have a long narrow foot and need every bit of length knit into my socks - so i take precautions. good luck with your new 'friends'.
